You have probably seen those neat little Febreze Car Clip fresheners in store that claim to work wonders when attached to the vents in your car. However, did you know they are just as, if not more effective in your HOME?! Simply clip on to your floor vents - when the heat is run, the scent is released. These clips work for quite awhile as well. A great air freshener for a small price!

While building independence and confidence, cutting stickers into 2 separate pieces and placing in your child's shoes will teach him or her to "match" each piece and put the proper shoe on the right foot. I did this with both my kids and it was extremely effective!﻿

This handy tip will prevent you from wasting an entire box of baking soda!

If you use your cell phone as much as I do, you are aware of how those chargers are not made to last! They fray or bend within a couple months time and you are left having to purchase a new one quickly. So here is a tip to prolong the life of your charger: use a spring from an old pen to keep it from bending and breaking.

My kids don't eat cereal everyday - because obviously their tastes change from day to day (how many moms can relate?!) Therefore, I needed a way to keep all these opened boxes from going stale until the kiddos decided they were in a cereal phase again. That is when I discovered that actually storing your cereal in the freezer will prevent it from going stale! This has saved me so much money after not having to throw it all out.

Did you know that regular soap contains fats and oils that create soap scum build up in your bathtub or shower stall? However, since body wash is actually a detergent, it is specifically formulated to prevent that caked on mess!
